Within hours after lunch and gathering some intel, Link and Zelda, with assistance from Joyata, were able to call a meeting of Hylian soldiers at the Lon Lon Outpost in order to determine how to confront the looming threat.
Since it was still a ranch, Lon Lon had stables full of horses and cows, but now it had new additions of watch towers and guardhouses, making it a Hylian Army outpost.
In the middle of the exact same arena where the Hero of Time met Epona for the first time, a table had been sat up and hundreds gathered around it to listen to Link and Zelda as they discussed the recent events, Joyata sat next to a Hylian general, listening intently.
A good thing this meeting was called too, dark times were looming again and Ganon's power had been too strong to fully get rid of even after defeating Ganon.
"Are all of you here?" asked Zelda, wearing her blue-gold royal robes and beginning the meeting as monarch of Hyrule, "Good. Let us begin our discussions, we have planning to do and lots of strategy changes."
While Zelda wasn't paying attention, Midna the Zora, who was wearing a revealing bodysuit, once more tried to educe Link, but he shoved her away and knocked Midna down on her ample behind.
Trying to take this as a minor setback, Midna blew a kiss at Link before runing off while doing a cartwheel.
"…As you may know," Zelda was saying, placing her hand on the table and speaking clearly as possible, "Even after defeating Calamity Ganon, his forces and corrupted Sheikah tech stayed behind to cause as much trouble as possible.
"Even the Yiga were more infuriated, they'd just lost their master, and now things are starting to get worse again even before its better again. Somehow or another, the original Demon King Demise is back, his psycho servant the Demon Lourd Ghirahim is also back.
"Will we be able to defeat the Demon King of old who was the precurssor to the one we now know as Ganon? I really cannot tell. What matters is something more dreadful than the Great Calamity of a hundred years ago is looming, this time, we might not be so lucky.
"But what matters most is, we have each other, we've survived worse before and we can survive again. But we must not lose confidence in ourselves, we must not be broken by darkness. If we can survive, we might be able to send the Original Ganon back to his grave."
The soldiers began murmur amongst themselves very nervously, one or two whispered in each other's ears, asking how they were going to defeat a monster army lead by a big ugly monster man with fiery hair.
"Armageddon is upon us," Zelda continued, "This could be our greatest challenge thrown at us yet. Maybe its our final test at least for a while, either we stand strong and defeat the enemy or we fail and the apocolypse consumes us all.
"Either way, we've underestimated the ancient curse cast by Demise and its time to once again stand together and remain strong, as one, we will tell the enemy, 'Hyrule will not go vanish without a fight, we will not be divided or be ruled by darkness.'"
Link got to his feet after sitting for a while and drew the Master Sword in order to show it to everyone.
"I agree with Zelda." He said, "This is our fight, these monsters have tormented us for centuries, they want to bring about destruction, pain and suffering. They've long declared war on us, they may be intimidating, but they are a joke.
"The Yiga are the most stupid, they like bannanas so its best to use that to our advantage. The monsters we've fought from Bokoblins to Moblins, they like food, so lets not give it to them. We Hylians have our differences, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends.
"Whenether you're heroes or bad guys, cowards or traitors, black or white, tall or short, handsome or ugly, young or old. Human or non-human, fat or thin, male or female, Goron, Gerudo or Zora. Its necessary to always assist the hero and his ally the lovely maiden."
"What are we fighting for, then?" A bored Hylian soldier asked sarcastically, "A lost cause? Are we doing the Hero of Time's dirty work and defending our princess as usual just like after the Kingdom of Hyrule began?"
Link shook his head, completely failing to notice Zelda putting her hand on her flat stomach, "No, my dear millitary amigo. Look at what those vile monsters have ruined or will ruin again, that's our lives, our friendships or homes. There are also our playthings, our nicknacks, our freedoms as you all must know."
"Inspiring speech, Link!" Joyata chuckled, eyeing Zelda, "But too bad we haven't heard our attractive maiden princess give such inspiring speeches." Princess Zelda glared at Joyata, "Oi, manners ya ex-Yiga."
"Let us make sure our petty differences do not divide us and ensure the bad guys don't defeat us s." Link continued, "Its time to make it known to all the forces of darkness and evil that they can take our lives or our spirits, but they can never take our freedoms.
"So let us fight back, let us defend ourselves against the barbaric diabolical forces. Send a message out to your comrades in arms and those who seek to cower or run in fear, tell them to take arms and hold the fort, stand and fight, fight for freedom!"
"YAH!" The soldiers shouted, raising their swords and axes sky high, "FIGHT BACK, DEFEAT THE BAD GUYS! FOR HYRULE, FOR THE PRINCESS!"
Zelda took Link's hand and together, they shared a sweet and passionate romantic kiss that seemed to last for many, many ages before it stopped...

After gathering enough allies and growing his army, Demise was almost ready to launch his attack on Hyrule. But first, he needed an area from which the invasion could happen so the Hyrulean Army could be taken by surprise, several staging areas.
First, he chose an island just a mere 2 miles from the Akkala shore where the Fall of Akkala was the end of Hyrule after the Akkala Fortress was overrun by Corrupted Guardian Robots 100 years before.
The island known as Galogut, originally small at first, became very larger than its original size thanks to Demise's magic, big enough to gather a huge army of monsters. As for the next staging area, there was also the sky.
Demise made sure to conjure up a series of big black clouds where half his forces could also begin the attack from the sky above.
The King of Darkness Reborn also had other plans, his plan was conjuring up Blood Moon-like powers and using a malice-storm to rain destruction upon Hyrule itself.
As for Ghirahim in Demise's invasion plan?
He was going to be second in command of course and, once the world was conquered, Ghirahim would either be the sword spirit or rule at his master's side upon the throne.
Demise was also considering scrapping the Sheikah tech once Hyrule was decimated and rebuilt in his own image, those things were inferior, regardless of their use as nothing more than tools of the dark forces and mere pawns.
The Yiga?
Well, they would be well rewarded for their part to play in the big fight.
The island had dark and barren ground with fiery grass, similar to Demise's hair, but the grass seemed to not harm anybody and that seemed brilliant.
As for any "flora life" on the island, Dark Trees stood upon the black beach, covered in leaves and spooky black spikes that could make anybody explode in black blood.
Once the invasion had been fully planned out and all his minions had gathered, Demise and Ghirahim took the front of the crowd so the Demon Commander and his Dark Second in Command could begin adressing the troops.
"Warriors of Darkness!" Demise spoke, his sword ready and his voice echoing all over and probably being heard by many across the world, "Servants of Ganon, loyal underlings and corrupted robotic creations of the Shiekah.
"Within hours, we will be achieving our ultimate destiny; Becoming the rulers of this world and finally enslaving those who are foolish enough to think they oppose us all.
"For years we have been defeated by the forces of light, we have been forced to tollerate the audacity of witnessing and being part of Hyrule's happy joy endings.
"Now Hyrule's time is up. Its time to say goodbye to defeats and say howdy… to SUCCESS, TO CONQUEST AND OUR HOURS OF TRIUMPHANTNESS!
"We shall rule this world with an iron fist, by hook or by crook, the Triforce will be ours for the absolute taking and we will rise to greatness above all, proving our superiority.
"The Bloodline of the Hero and Hylia will be vanquished at long last, the descendants of those who cowered in fear or stood and fight will either be enslaved or purged from this world like the insects they are.
"Trust me, believe in your strengths, me and our power, you will be brilliantly rewarded in the new world you will help forge. A new order is rising, we can all be part of it together.
"A thousand years from now, we will look back on the times we were defeated and we will be laughing about it, treating our old defeats like the stuff of old legends."
"That is right, minions!" Ghirahim chimed in, "May we drink the blood of our enemies, dice their heads clean off, chop them up and/or corrupt them to our will.
"Those we enslave will have to serve us forever, by the will of darkness, it is time to be free and liberate yourselves. May they burn in fire, drown in blood and lava, may they be spiked, skewered, bonked and reduced to ashes."
"Let us go forth." Demise resumed, "When dawn rises, it will not be the dawn of heroes, it will the new Golden Age of Lords and Masters, demons and Yiga. The time has come, the battle is upon us. If one you fails to play your part, you will be decimated by me personally.
"Let us show no mercy to the fools and cowards who rely on their golden spirit Hylia for their protection, we daemons are weapons of doom and let us make sure they do not forget. Today is the new era, today is the day we take our place in history.
"For glory! For glorious conquest! For the fall of Hyrule itself!"
"FOR GLORY! FOR CONQUEST! FOR THE FALL OF HYRULE ITSELF!" The speech-capable monsters and Yiga shouted.
